You seem to point out that there are many verses concerning meditation in the Bible.

Interesting.

It would have been better if you expounded on them a little more- what it means and then explain what it means to you instead of directly going to your musings.

You seem to be a very devotional person and I hope you do continue to be a religious person.

Your musings did seem to remind me of myself and my childhood. I still wish that I was as 1/2 percent as spiritual as I was when I was young. Ah yes...I was a yogi back then...I used to have visions of my God (I am not a Christian) and I used to confess to him all night long. I used to talk to him and had dreams about him.

But people got to me before him. I was strange and stupid to my peers and others because I was innocent. I could positively expect no evil from anyone, expecting my cousin brother not to hit me again after the countless time he did (share my pain).

Point being, I have to change myself in order to survive. I stopped being spiritual and became practical. Now people tell me why I am cynical...sheesh. I now read countless religious texts (The Gita, The Bible, Upanishads etc.) but I would throw them all out of the door to get back one iota of my old former naive innocent spiritual self.
